Newport’s rollercoaster season came to a successful climax at Poole Regatta with a win for the Men’s Novice A crew and runner’s up spot for the B crew on Saturday 2nd September.
After a season of mistakes, mishaps and bad luck – which led to winning positions being lost – the Men’s Novice A crew of Boris Hare, Connor Garner, Nathaniel Hamilton, Harry Hare – coxed by Marianna Hare – overcame further problems in the final when Nathaniel’s sliding seat stopped sliding. The crew showed great composure to carry on and win the race.
Their nearest rivals were the Newport B crew of Will Loveday-Powell, Chris Clarke, Jake Garner, and Hayden Tiffin – coxed by Tim Bull – who were just a couple of lengths behind them.
The J16 crew of Boris Hare, Will Loveday-Powell, Hayden Tiffin, Artur Rozvodovski – coxed by Vlad Galai – had a terrific race vying for the lead with Shanklin throughout. They were just pipped on the line to finish 2nd.
Well done all, great success
